THE Christianburg/Wismar Secondary School, popularly known as ‘Multi’, continued their dominance in this year’s Digicel Schools Football tournament, winning the Region 10 Zone finals yesterday as they conquered Kwakwani Secondary 5-1 at the Wisburg Secondary football ground.

The team’s prolific forward Omar Brewley netted a double, while Jehu Regis, Andre Mayers and Kevin Dare scored a goal each for ‘Multi’ who also won $100 000 and will now play Mahdia in a playoff on Sunday in their attempt to reclaim the title they relinquished to Chase Academy, after holding on to it for four consecutive years.
Playing in conditions not too conducive for a game of football, ‘Multi’ showed why they are the tournament’s most decorated team, displaying their superior skills and taking the lead seven minutes into the contest when Brewley scored from point-blank range .
Mayers made it 2-0 with his goal in the 13th minute as the Lindeners entered the second stanza with a two-goal cushion.
Just after the resumption, Regis, who has scored in every game for the champions, netted from close range to make it 3-0.

Despite the game basically being reduced to Water Polo because of the flooded outfield due to the heavy downpour, Kwakwani Secondary didn’t allow ‘Multi’ to have their way, as Ivan La Rose, in the 55th minute, scored the best goal of the game; a free-kick from approximately 30 yards out.
While the Linden custodian could be blamed for misjudging the ball when it was airborne, La Rose’s goal certainly brought life to the Kwakwani team.
Nonetheless, five minutes later, Dare made it 4-1 when he collected a pass from Brewley and wasted little time in hammering a right-footed volley that the Kwakwani keeper had no chance of stopping.
In the 65th minute, Brewley converted a penalty and added his double to lead the Christianburg/Wismar Secondary to their 7th Regional title.
The team played in every final of the country’s most prestigious schools football tournament, only losing in the inaugural final and last year to Chase Academy.
